answers these charges In good spirit and
very successfully. To the common assertion
that "the Jews swarm everywhere" she OPP
poses the latest ststlstics, showing that
"the whole number Of Israelites In popula-
ton OF $4,000, 900 IL 10000" The average re-
nnoment she contends, 10 as great among
Jews as among Christians, and the manners
against which there Is 30 much cutlery are
rather foreign than especially characteristic
OF the Jews. II they monopolize the best
rooms at hotels and make an offensive dis
play OF their wealth, rs is 30 commonly
charged, how can they be accused, aslss Mrs.
RHINE, OF being poor customers and Of
penurious dlspostion2
The fact Is that such charges against the
Jews are chiefly made a. an excuse for an
antipathy which 10 deep-seated, and exists
without regard to the behavior Of the par
ticular members OF the race encountered.
OF course 1t Is intensified when they are
positively offensive in manner; but, no
matter what their conduct, 1t would ex-
ist all the samo In the case Of those
who entertain the prejudice, which Ia not
against individuals but against the whole
race, and cannot be conquered by nero ar
gument showing that 1t has no proper iusti-
fication. As Mrs. RHINE puts 1t, ian Unborn
prejudice against the Jews brings the brunt
of criticism to bear upon Them" II they
are vulgar they seem to and-Jewish senti-
ment to be the vulgarest Of people. and II
they arc refined they are accused OF obtru-
siveness when they seek refined Christian
society, or Of bitter nntipathy against Chris
hans when they sensitlvely shun 1t.
But are not the jews themselves respon-
sible for this feoling2 II they are kept apart
Is it not because they have insisted on being
O peculiar people, as much distinguishable
from those among whom they live as II they
were of totally different color? "Their
pronounced racial characteristics" to use
Mrs. RAINE's words, "betray them wherever
they go. There Is no Disgusting their fea-
lures, for these are tho same whether their
possessors are born In Oriental or in Western
lands" In this country immigration is all
the time tending to the obliteratlon Of race
distinctions, but tho Jew remains the same.
He "retains in every place the peculiar
physiognomy seen on the early Egyptian
monuments" 80 that, no matter whence he
comes, whether he be English, French, Ger
man, or Pole. he Is always and simply Jew.
"For the obliteration Of prejudice so I'M
just the Israelite." says Mrs RHINE, lean
only look forward to a time when broader
culture shall prevail among his Christian fell
low men," Let him rather look forward to
the time when, both Christian and Jewish
prejudices having been obliterated. there
shall no longer be distinct Jewish race in
every country; for only then will the antip-
athy Of which Mrs. RHINE complains have
ceased to exist.

Tho Prejudice Against the Jews.

The prejudice against Jews which Is now
so strikingly manifested at the summer
watering places Is very temporarily dis
cussed In the last number OF the Forum by
Mrs. ALICE HYNEMAN RHINE a cultivated
Jewish woman. This antipathy. she finds,
was frat openly displayed when Judge Hill
TON debarred Jews from his hotel at Sara
toga, but his example was soon followed by
host of hotel and boarding house proprie-
tors. until now, in the Catskills, especially.
more than half the Jewish applicants for
board are refused accommodation"
There Is no doubt thatin the minds OF very
many people not OF that race 1t has become
ground OF objection against hotel that 1t
entertains Jews. They are accused of vul-
Rarity and obtrusyeness, and disposition
to grab what Is best and to enjoy themselves
without regard to the comfort and con-
venienee Of other people. Hotel proprie-
tors. too. excuse their disposition to cater to
this prejudice ON the plea that Jews are not

they offend and drive gwRy. Mrs. RHmH

The Two Ways.

Two departments Of tho Government have
power odeal with tho surplus In tho national
Treasury.
First OF all, the Secretary of the Treasury
has the power to wipe It out immediately,
and to save.a great sum from his interest
account In addition. This seems TO us an
act of unquestiohable wisdom. Still, that is
matter for him to determine.
But with the great surplus sums Of money,
which under our present scheme Of taxation
Will inevitably accumulate, It Is for the House
of Representatives TO deal; and let US take
another look at the two methods proposed
for this purpose within the organization Of
the Democracy.
Both arc in favor of preventing another
such an accumulation as we have at present,
and the great difference between the two plans
is this: The free traders propose to do 1t by
altering the tariff. 30 es to diminish tho
revenue from customs duties, and, though
they naturally disclaim al hostility 10 the
industries exciting, the adoption Of their
ideas could not fail to produce the most
fm-reaching and radical rcarranRement.
Whether the final result would DO beneficial
to the country or not, the intervening stages
In the development Of their policy would be
disastrous
On the other hand, tho protectionists pre-
fer to prevent the further accumulation Of
surplus by first cutting of tho taxes which
are peculiarly our Inheritance from the war,
and the abolition Of which would benefit q
vastly greater number Of people than It
would harm; leaving the great industries Of
the country comparatively undisturbed.
This Is simple statement Of tho two ideas
contcnding In the Democratic party, and
they are personifled respectively by Mr.
Wnn1AM r. MORRISON, and Mr.. SAMUEL
j. RANDALL.

HILL STREET, LONDON W., 9th June. 1887.
Sin: I am much Obliged for your interest
Ing lotter about tho criticisms OF Gen. Sher-
man and Mr.. Davis upon my short review Of
Gen. Longs history OF Con. Leo.
You ask mo II 1 mean to answer those COM
ments. have no such intention. Both those
gentlemen had much better, think, address
themselves to Con. Long upon the historical
points they dispute From bis close intimacy
with Gen. Lee he is moro likely to DO correct
than they can be regarding the doings Of the
great men he served 30 well. and whose his
tory he has written with so much affection and
ability.
Anything coming from tho pen OF n distih-
guished soldier like Gen. Sherman will always
be Of interest and weight. I havo 80 much
for his great achievements, that wero he to
differ from me In opinion upon any campaign
In which he like myself, had taken no part.
and OF which, therefore, he was. like myself,
merely an unparalleled commentator, should
hesitate before expressed any views at vari-
ance with his. In the present instance. how
ever. think tho outside world, who must be the
great jury to eventually settle all such CON-
tested matters OF opinion, will attach more
weight to tho opinions Of European students
OF war upon the events Of the great Confeder-
ate struggle than even to those Of the most
eminent American Generals like Gen. Sher-
man. the reason being that men who. like him,
played most distinguished part In that war
can scarcely be regarded as impartial judges.
I have read his remarks upon me with deep
interest. for he writes like soldier and o gen
tleman.
OF poor Mr.. Davis's letter prefer saying lit
tie. When I remember his career and his
present position. can sympathize with his
dislike to all outside criticism upon the events
nown. I am sorry that a man who had the
privilege Of being friend Of that high-bred
Virginian gentleman and soldier should write
as he has done Of one who is q complete stran-
ger to him-of one who has committed what
In Mr.. Davis's eyes is evidently the unpardon-
able fault OF presuming to criticise the policy
and acts Of the ex-Confederate President. Mr.
Davis's self-appreciation causes him to think
himself q greater man than those who deal
with him historically are prepared to admit.

A fraud. similar to that which was prac-
tissd in this country when the new flve-cent
pieces were issued, Is now having much success
in Great Britain. The new sixpences Just
coined by the Royal Mint resemble the half
sovereign in size and appearance. as our Ave-
cent pieces resemble the half eagle, and by
gliding them they arc easily passed for half
sovereigns. as our hve-cent pieces, when
gilded, were passed for half eagles. or course
the British public will soon become aware Of
tho trick, and will defeat It, as We defeated
that which was played on US. but temporarily
the rogues are reaping harvest.

First Foroe-Now Fraud.

In the course OF thia week tho Unionist
majority in the House Of Commons will OK
change the role of bully for the equally con-
genial part OF hypocrite. Before many days
arc over IL will have carried Coercion bill
unparalleled for rigor and injustice, whether
we look ut tho gravity Of Its encroachments
on the customary rights Of British subjects
or at the unique provision that only new
act OF Parliament can limit It's duration. SO
long as the Unionists, Tory or sham Liberal
control the House Of Lords, and are inficxi-
BILE in their opposition to Mr.. GLADsroNR's
Irish programme, the Grimes act must stand
upon the statute book, a perpetual menace
to the liberties OF Ireland.
No sooner Is the engine Of coercion ready
for application In Ireland than tho Land bill
Is brought forward to cajole and tranquilllze
public opinion In Great Britain. BY the
promises made on its assumption Of Office,
the SALISBURY Cabinet was pledged, and by
the report of its own Land Commission 1t
WIS forced, to introduce measure which
should at least profess to offer some relief to
Irish leaseholders and occupants. Accord
ingly Land bill has for some time been un-
dergoing q perfunctory discussion In the
House of Lords. But from tho tenor Of the
Governments own declarations 1t Is very
doubtful whether there viii be oven an at
tempt to support It's most plausible feature
tho proposal to advance purchase money
to tenants-after the bill 10 sent down on
Tuesday to the popular assembly.
The urgent whip iesued Tor that day by
Mr.. PARNEn1 indicates . determination on
the part Of tho Nationalist leaders to lose no
time in exposing the futile and delusive
character of the supposed relief offered by
tho Land BILL and to repudiate the measure
In the name OF his constituents, the tenants
Of Ireland. Mr.. GLADsToNE's position In re-
lation to the question, which will now COM
mand attention, is probably foreshadowed
by the adverse criticisms Of Earl SPENCER
and Lord HRRsCHELI on all the clauses Of
the bill except those providing for an advance
Of purchase money and empowering lease
holders to apply to the Land Courts for q
readiustment Of their leases to the present
values Of farm products. What line Lord
HARRINGTON and the Liberal Unionists will
take Is left to the decision Of conference to
be held this week. But whatever they may
wish, 1t Is clear from the Indifferent attitude
Of Lord SALISBURY and Lord CADoaAN in
the House of Lords on Friday. that the
Tories will acquiesce. With the Land bill.
as with the Crimes bill, we shall see that the
real dictation OF the Cabinets policy IL not
